SPECIOUS MORPHOLOGY EXHIBITIONS 2015 - Present

A few years ago I saw a pattern forming, whereas my choice of materials, color schemes and inspiration overlapped. It was a great moment when I felt it was right to combine these works as one family. 

Originally inspired by casual explorations at the edge of the Everglades and now Coastal Georgia ecosystems, my backyard, my childhood in the tropics and many travels, these works now exist in their own plausible and fantastic dimension.

- Four versions of this exhibition took place: Alexander Hall in Savannah, GA,  Silvana Facchini Gallery in Miami, Florida, Coosa St. Pop Up Gallery in Montgomery, Alabama and the Miami Dade College Homestead Campus in Florida. Works from and inspired by these shows were later (2018) shown at the Patricia and Phillip Art Museum at the FIU campus in Miami. 

-More than 35,000 wood clothespins

-More than 250 collected and treated snails and hundreds of Sand Hickory nut shells.

-Wood from River oaks, Live oaks, Azaleas and more,from the artists' great backyard.

-Thousands of feet of galvanized, steel and copper wire

-Over 100 paintings and drawings

-Approximately 150 sculptural pieces (individual or as part of installations)

-At University of California in San Diego (B.A. in Visual Arts 87) I studied, biology, organic chemistry, molecular biology and genetics. Their influential traces compose these new works.

-Recent tropical storm Helene resulted in more raw material than I wanted. A 94 foot oak fell on our house (studio is safe) thus I have saved several branches and roots. I am also salvaging old 2" x 4"s from the damaged sections of the house. Lumber dimensions used to be larger and the wood itself of better quality.
